Giuliani party seeks $9.11 per person

A supporter of Rudy Giuliani's is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican's presidential campaign.

Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign's national house party night.

But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the "$9.11 for Rudy" theme.

"There are some young people who came up with it," Sofaer said when reached by telephone Monday evening. He referred other questions to Giuliani's campaign.

"I'm just providing support for him. He's an old friend of mine," Sofaer said of Giuliani.

Sofaer was a State Department adviser under President Reagan and is a fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution

Giuliani's campaign had no immediate comment.

According to the invitation, "$9.11 for Rudy" is an "independent, non-denominational grass-roots campaign to raise $10,000 in small increments to show how many individual, everyday Americans support `America's Mayor.'"

Giuliani was mayor of New York during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

This is getting to be like John Kerry's "Did you know I served in Vietnam?" mantra.

Those aren't purple hearts though. They're probably purple sashes that matches Rudy's evening gown.

Yes, Rudy and his wife came up with the theme. He he were desent, he would say no to it. But he’s not.

What a stupid, ghoulish idea. I can’t believe Giuliani was stupid enough to buy off on this.

Way to pass the buck.

"You know those dang kids, never know what they'll do, I'm just setting it up, but they are running the show, I'm not gonna tell them that $9.11 is in poor taste, because, you know, I'm just providing support for him".
